One of the most intriguing archaeological enigmas came to light when a copper scroll was unearthed in a cave by the Dead Sea in 1952. To everyone's amazement, the copper scroll listed 64 sites where vast quantities of gold and silver treasures were secretly buried way back in antiquity. The lure of buried treasures excited imaginations and many archaeological expeditions were organised to find the treasures. But they all ended in failure because the descriptions to find the treasures were either too vague or nonsensical.
Following a recent investigation it is possible to tell the story behind the copper scroll. The evidence reveals that the elite priesthood had a magnificent calendar matrix for mapping out the future and it gave them the mantle of prophets. Because Israel was overrun many times by invaders, the priesthood devised a novel plan to preserve the precious calendar for posterity. They selected copper to write on knowing that the metal would endure. Then they portrayed the calendar indices as numerical weights of gold and silver treasure that were secretly hidden at spurious locations. They expected that whoever found the copper scroll would safeguard it feverishly thinking that the treasures were real.
Something alarming must have happened that finally caused the custodians to hide the copper scroll in a cave by the Dead Sea.
It was possible to reconstruct the historical background because the majestic calendar has recently been reconfigured from the numbers on the copper scroll.
How that breakthrough was achieved in deciphering the knowledge on the copper scroll is outlined in this manuscript.
